"I have used the patches for 15 years. Somebody got the bright idea to change the material - probably bought out by another company and they don't stick at all. Waste of money. So sad."

"Another rip off from the medical business people; unable to use it as it only wadded up into a ball. If I can't get it to stay in shape in front of me, how am I supposed to get it onto my back?"
